Answer:

1/5

Explanation:

the formula for slope is y2-y1 over x2-x1.

So the y2 would be the -5 and the y1 is -6 because the second point pair is the second point on the line.

The x2 would be -4 (kudos to the y's) and the x1 would be -9.

-5 - (-6) = 1

-4 - (-9) = 5

1/5?

1/5

ok, 1/5

ye 1/5

dont believe meh?

use calculator

(i didn't, I solve as I go. Boring, but makes me late for answering.

Rip)

EDIT:

I don't really understand how it would be 11/5,

But just to try to argue as a point,

I found a calculator and used it to recheck, and I still get 0.2 as the first answer, which is 1/5 because 0.2 x 5 = 1.
